Remembering a dose of Morton Magic: when Craig Morton brought the @Broncos back from 24 down vs. Seattle in 1979: pic.twitter.com/Yvc41lwumS
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) June 23, 2016In terms of magnitude, the rally from a 24-point deficit against Seattle in 1979 has been matched, but remains unsurpassed.
It was made possible by one of the best decisions then-head coach Red Miller ever made.
Heading into this Week 4 game, the Broncos were embroiled in a quarterback controversy. Although Craig Morton is today remembered as one the Broncos' greatest legends, back in 1978 and 1979 he did not have the favor of many fans.
